Simply create two PIF files with different keyboard shortcuts (I'm not quite sure how these are called in the US version of Windows, I am using the German version; it's the last field in the "more options" dialog box in the pif editor) and start the two DOS sessions you want to switch quickly using these PIF files. I did this for all my old DOS applications, using CTRL+SHIFT+first letter of application name as a shortcut. I can get to the MSDOS Kermit I'm using here by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+K, for example. This even works while using an application in fullscreen mode. Wolfgang Strobl #include <std.disclaimer.hpp>
